We look forward to celebrating the birth of our great nation each July 4th and we often times do that with fireworks, but those fireworks can cause anxiety among our pets.
Maybe you should swing by 3211 NW Stallings Drive in Nacogdoches - that's the address to the animal shelter, just in case you weren't sure - and meet Melody.
To me, loving animals is not just only about how they make us feel. It's an act of seeing them with as much compassion and clarity that we can at the time.
I'm okay for now, but come July--Should I hide in the shade? Check. Ice water? Check. Consume as many popsicles as possible? Got it. Any other suggestions?
Duchess is a one-year-old Calico female. Apparently, she's a bit camera shy, but she's also playful, as you can see with her climbing all over Sergeant Ayres.
